Summary

This study looked at 98 children with a symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus (a thicker, C-shaped knee cartilage). Doctors checked if an uneven ability to bend the knee could signal a dislocated meniscus. They found that this simple exam finding may help identify a specific type of meniscus tear that needs surgery.
